Update w/photos - it's been awhile

mysweetpeasWil&Wes wrote: Hey! I haven't been around all that much lately so I thought I would post a quick update. Still dealing with our move. DH hates his new job and is starting to look for other options when he has the time. There is a possible opportunity to go into business with my FIL's best friend. A very established business, so we will see. I'm looking for work myself, something from home p/t. I received a call back on a nonprofit position, saying I'm one of their top candidates. Hopefully I will hear something soon. No interview yet, but they seemed to like my resume. Wil started preschool in June and loves it. His school is at a church right around the corner, so it's very convenient for us all. Both boys will start private swim lessons (in MIL's pool, she's paying for it) tomorrow. We will see how that goes! We are having a fun summer exploring our "new" town (I grew up here). We still haven't sold our home in CO, so that has made things rough. Still living with just the few things we brought here in our two cars (it's been since March now). We've had some very interested families, just no contracts yet. We're going to attempt to take the boys camping this weekend for the first time. Hoping for a good time! My grandmother went in for surgery today which makes me sad. She moved here in April and has been happy to be closer to family. But she turns 86 this Friday and her health has really gone down hill in the past two weeks. Keep her in your thoughts please. They are putting in a pacemaker as I type this. Anyhow, just a little update. I've been trying to keep up on here, but it's just been hard with how unsettled we are right now. Lots of change for our family, but the four of us are healthy and living in a what I think to be a little slice of paradise...what more can I ask for!


My mom has this exact photo of my sister and I...Same park, about the same age.

My little man!

We went to the "Steaming Summer" event at the Train Depot last weekend! Wesley was so excited that he was finally tall enough to ride on the "choo-choo!"

My3LilMonkeys replied: Wow, you guys have been busy!!! The boys are getting so big. I wish you and DH both the best of luck in your job hunts!!

doublebubble replied: Your boys are so adorable! Good luck!

mckayleesmom replied: OMG..they have gotten so big...I think Wesly is taller then Russell and Mckaylee...

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: Well - so much going on, Rae. It will all work out. I'm sorry your DH isnt happy with his job. That can be very stressful. Hopefully, he'll find a better one soon and I wish you well with your job hunt as well.

You boys are simply beautiful! They always have been, but they're very striking in the photos you posted. (Is that your DH in the third pic? If so, he looks different to me - his hair is shorter/darker?)

That would be so cool to frame the first pic and your pic with your sis together. (in a frame that holds two 4 x 6's or something like that)

Thanks for posting the pics and for the updates. Hang in there and keep the Faith!

Really? Different? DH has had the same hair style his entire 33 years! It's called a #5 on the clippers! I think he's actually getting a lot more gray, so maybe that's it?

Bri, yes my boys are on the tall side. Not sure where they get it...DH and I are about average height. Wil is only 3.5 and many people mistake him for 5!

Thanks you guys!

BAC'sMom replied: Good luck with the job hunting. The boys are getting so big and are as handsome as ever.

sparkys2boys replied: Hi glad to see you in here!! Wow the kids have grown!! Sounds like you have been super busy!! GL with the job hunts for both of you! I am sure it will all work out!

MoonMama replied: Oh my goodness Rae! They have gotten so big! They are absolutely gorgeous!

BabyOwen427 replied: You got some megga cute boys there!

I like the idea of side-by-side pics of your boys and you and your sis. That's a great thing to show off.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: Rae they have gotten huge. Wesley was just a baby the last time I saw you guys. Sorry You are having such a hard time with the house and jobs, it will all work out for the best. I know what it is like to feel like you have finally found your little slice of heaven. We will have to get together one of these months

punkeemunkee'smom replied: The boys are so cute Rae! I am sorry DH is not happy in his job-that can be so rough. I hope you are able to sell your home and you are both able to find jobs that are a perfect fit for your family!

Calimama replied: The boys are so handsome!!

lisar replied: Good luck job hunting. And I hope your other house sells soon for you.
I am keeping you grandmother in my thoughts, let us know how she does.

And your boys are so cute

A&A'smommy replied: They are SOO cute Rea!!!

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Wow, they are so big, but handsome!!

My2Beauties replied: Rae, those boys are breathtaking! Extremely cute! Good luck on the job hunting and I hope your DH finds something he likes as well.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm sorry your house hasn't sold. I bet that is so stressful!!!

The boys are handsome as ever and you're right....they are getting SO big!!
Rich does look a little different than usual...probably just a different angle.

I'm glad you guys are so happy in California. I can imagine that wouldn't be difficult.
